MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The pituitary gland is connected by a stalk to a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. Together, the brain and pituitary gland form the neuroendocrine system. This system constantly monitors glands and organs to determine whether to send or to stop the chemical messengers (hormones) that control their functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which statement is true about the pituitary? The pituitary hormones all work by activating G proteins and triggering cAMP within cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pituitary gland is sometimes called the “master” gland of the endocrine system because it controls the functions of many of the other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland is no larger than a pea, and is located at the base of the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: The TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, not by the Thyroid gland hence the Statement ‘’The Thyroid gland releases TSH” is false .
